Transport for London (TfL) have decided to drop the plans for a new route for 315 bus through West Norwood as there was little local support for the plans.

Last summer TfL consulted local people about extending the 315 bus to Peabody Hill & Trust Walk, a community of 250 homes, at the top of Birkbeck Hill SE21 . Of the 513 people who took part in the consultation only 22% supported the new route. 174 of those who replied used the 315 bus which links West Norwood with Balham.

TfL said “We will consider other ways of improving access to Peabody Hill. Any proposals will take account of the issues raised in this consultation and will be subject to further consultation.”
